Singer Atomic Age Buttonholer and 3 Ways to Look Great

I love to sew AND get inspired by surrounding myself with beautiful things. The buttonholer case does that…and good to have for those vintage sewing machines around the house. As for the patterns…What’s not to love about 40’s style, long evening dresses, or slinky skirts with a slit to there? All I need is a Glen Miller playing “In the Mood.” So kick your shoes off and enjoy!
Vintage Singer Buttonholer with atomic age case in dusty rose. Complete set with buttonhole templates and instructions. Excellent condition. So the case looks great….great enough to use for trinkets if you don’t have the machine anymore. Can’t believe I said that.

Fashion Week 2012

I must have had a “moment” where I blacked out….well sort of at least. While drinking my bottomless cup of coffee and watching Good Morning America I heard someone say it was Fashion Week. I thought..I Almost Missed Fashion Week! Not that I am a fashionista…..really, I am a jeans and t-shirt gal when I am not in scrubs but my daughter is and SHE is a fashionista. Humph…..to think another all important week almost got by me.

Here’s some of the beautiful evening dresses from the runway to inspire you. Think wedding, prom, homecoming.

 

The fun thing about sewing is with a pattern, needle, thread, a little inspiration, and a bit of know how and you can create something beautiful that is perfect for you.

Happy Sewing Month!

Keep your seams straight!
